Chinese police brought the couple back to China on Tuesday as part of Operation Fox Hunt, a campaign to catch economic fugitives hiding overseas.
The female suspect surnamed Ding, and her husband, surnamed Dong, had allegedly illegally collected deposits from the public by promising high interest rates since January 2013, the ministry said yesterday, without disclosing the exact amount of money involved.
The wife and husband separately fled to Nepal in April 2015 and January 2016 respectively, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
